SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 284,861, datedSeptember 11, 1883. y

Application led June 4,1883. (No model.) I

To coZZ, whom it may concern:

`Be it known that we, JOHN JUNE and LEON- ARD FALK, citizens of theUnitedStates, residing at Manson, in the county of Oalhoun and State ofIowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Feed-Cookers; and we do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention. such as will` enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of referencemarked thereon, which form a part of this speciiication. f

Figure l of the drawings is a representation of this invention, and is avertical section. Fig. 2 is a cross-section. Fig. 3 is a perspectivedetail of the movable grate. Fig. 4 is a perspective detail of themovable nre-place.-

This invention has relation to agricultural boilers; and it consists inthe construction rand novel arrangement of devices, as hereinafter -setforth, and particularly pointed out in the appended claim. l

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates the main case orreceiver of the boiler, which is of rectangular form, having an archedtop, B. It is formed with an interior longitudinal cavity, O, whereofthe side walls, d, and bottom c are parallel to the outer side walls, g,and bottom hof the case. The interspace between the outer and innerwalls of the case being closed at each end by the end walls K, forms areceivingchamber, L, around the interior cavity, O, as indicated in thedrawings. `The chamber L is designed to receive the water to be heated.One or more vertical pipes, P, extend through theA fire chamber orcavity O from the lower portion, m, of the boiler to its upper portion,n, and. transverse pipes P connect the sides s of the boiler. Thesepipes are arranged in the back portion of the hre-place where the heatedproducts of combustion will heat them and the water thereon, setting upvertical and transverse 'currents in the water, so that theV entire bodythereof soon becomes heated to the boiling-point. In the front part ofthe :fire-chamber O is placed a cast-iron movable dre-place, R, ofrectangular form, open in front to receive a movable cast-ironcoal-grate, G, which is provided with legs or supports t. The positionof the nre-place R in the chamber O is regulated by the outwardly-turnedfront flanges, f, which engage the wall of the front opening of the caseA. The back of the fire-place R is closed below to about the height ofthe grate by a wall, o. From the upper edge of the wall to the top ofhre-place extend the rearwardly-bent plates H, which are separated bythe draft-intervals I, through which the heated products of combustionpass into and through the back portion ofthe firechambers.

From the top of the case A extends a short pipe, c, to which is attachedthe head l) of the tube c, whereby the steam is conveyed into the vesselcontaining the food to be cooked. The tube is provided with a perforatedspout, c, at its end, which is designed to be introduced into the feedand stirred about therein. tube should have a flexible portion, Z, sothat moved about when needed.

A indicates the door, and Z the tubular neck to which the smoke-pipe isattached.

Z indicates the lateral passage leading to the bottom of the receiver,andthrough which the water is passed in filling the same.

Having described the invention, what we claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is-

An agricultural boiler of rectangular form, having a rectangularlongitudinal cavity or fire-chamber, O, extending from its front part toits rear Wall, vertical and transverse pipes arranged in rear to connectthe upper and lower portions and sides of the boiler-chambers, themovable fire-place R, in the front of the chamber, having the bent rearplates, H, separated to form draft-interspaces I, and the movable grateG in-said {ire-place, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereofl we affix oursignatures in presence of twowitnesses.
